Local Parks and Playgrounds

Meadowbrook Park

This large area park has a playground, a picnic area, tennis courts, basketball courts, and many ball fields. The park gets crowded on weekends and even though there is a lot of parking, it can all be full.

This is a large park with a good sized mulch-cushioned playground. The playground is mostly sunny and has 9 slides! It also has swings, several climbing structures, bridges, teeter-totters and more. The playground is called "Candy Cane City" but all the climbing stuff is painted red and green. I imagine in the past it was red and white striped, but I don't know that for sure.

There are four tennis courts. They have lights and you can use them until 11pm. There are also a lot of ballfields (Baseball and soccer), some of which are lighted. The park is on both sides of Rock Creek, the fields on the other side of the creek can be accessed via Beach Drive (and there is more parking there). Several foot bridges connect the two parts of the park so you can easily go between the two sides. The ballfields are used on weekends by sports leagues, you can reserve them if they are available.
